or values within a targeted population while Quantitative research is mainly based on measurement of quantity or amount and is applicable on to phenomenon that can be expressed in quantitative form. (Kothari 2004)
The research topic, “advantages and disadvantages of assistive technology”, seeks to find out opinions from the population therefore it qualifies to be a qualitative research rather than quantitative research. It engages the use interview schedules, closed questionnaires. These research interview instruments should be properly designed. (Denscombe1998)
Before obtaining data it is necessary to come up with a sample size which should be the true reflection of the characteristic of the population targeted. Sampling is done to help save time, money among other resources. It is not easy to conduct research one by one to capture the entire population thus the necessity of sampling. (Kothari 2004)
As noted earlier, qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomenon relating to or does involve quality. In order to obtain data the researcher will engage various techniques of; focus group interview, projective interview, and in depth interview. In depth interview is commonly used technique due to its effectiveness in collecting data in a given face to face research problem. During in depth interview the interviewer ask questions and the respondent answers, in this case the interviewer is considered student and the respondent is considered expert. (Denscombe1998)
Researcher engage with the participant by posing questions one after the other in neutral manner to avoid leading answers. Interviewer pays attention to the responses given by the respondent and applying probing techniques where necessary to get more information. After the interview the data obtained shall be coded according to participant’s response to each question
Focus group is mainly concerned with obtaining information that relates to community or sub group. Here two or more

... consisting of 75% white students and 25% black students, grades ranging from Pre-Kindergarten to Sixth grade. As the only 6th grade math teacher, I teach a total of 98 students in four 90 minute blocks. My students are seated in groups of four in order to incorporate cooperative learning, as well as complete group assignments. I have pertinent math material posted throughout my classroom as well. I have 15 special needs students (1 IEP and 14 IAP’s). A certified Special Education teacher does come into my room daily for a total of 30 minutes to assist as needed. The reason for choosing my classes for the study is to see how technology can improve their ability to learn and comprehend 6th grade mathematical concepts and practices... ...

.... The digital devices can be used to update and maintain portfolios, obtain grade updates, access information and news while managing the learning life. It has been noted (Grauwe 30) that some states are already developing policies allowing student owned devices. However, this move needs careful strategies in developing and planning policies (Grauwe 30). This fact has been supported by earlier studies (Monahan 31) indicating that the existing interfaces between teachers and technology pose open questions with unexplored paths occurring via distance learning and the internet. Using the internet will connect teachers to additional resources of professional development and assist in conducting classes. Works...

Introduction
Culture and technology are two components of human society that simultaneously alter according to each other's needs and requirements. To exactly determine that who leads and who follows cannot be laid out in black and white. However, we can safely assume that technology somewhat takes the lead in weight and has considerable effect on altering cultural conditioning.
This paper attempts to trace the effect of technology on the culture with reference to the modifications brought and

...Introduction Kiosk is relatively a new technology that has been started to be used with Point-Of-Sale (POS) Systems in environments like retail stores, check out counters etc. The purpose of using kiosks is considered to be two fold - it not only attracts the customers due to its attractive layout and features; but also develops a self service culture that in turn allows the company to reduce head counts by relying on technology to make transactions with speed, reliability and accuracy, and getting rid of extra staff that adds to overheads.
The main theme behind introducing the concept of Kiosk technology was to initiate the theme of 'self service'; in an attractive, well organized way...

...decision making while facilitating data input required for daily business operational functions such as payroll, benefits, etc.
The following proposal will align the development of new Human Resources Information Technology Systems with goals of reduced manhours, smoother data input, and greater data accessibility and accuracy.
Need:
Presently, low level data input is being accomplished by high level employees thus wasting the time of those personnel; i.e. simple data input that the employee him/herself could input on a real time basis is now being input from paper records by HR personnel. This generates repetitive, time wasting tasks and introduces more chances for data errors and escapes. There are also disparate...

... Technology in Japan Introduction It is a mere fact that the United s has been ableto distinguish itself as a pioneer and leader in the field of science and technology. However, Japan, the technologically groundbreaking nation, has played a key role in the same field, which has been often overlooked by large. For centuries, lives of millions of people have been influenced by the impressive inventions and innovations of Japan, such as video game consoles, automobiles, computer accessories, etc. No innovations have been brought in Japan by magic. In this regard, research into mechanisms will allow the readers to understand the basis of development of technology in Japan. In brief, contemporary Japanese technology will be discussed... in this...

...College: Education and Technology Introduction In today’s world, technology affects every aspect of our lives and education is not left out. Our generation is in the digital age and hence adoption of technology in education will make a better future as it has long term advantages. In the context of using technology in education this generally refers to the use of computers and computer technology as tools and aids to help teachers teach and students learn.
